Everything You Need To Know About David Cameron’s Reshuffle

William Hague, Michael Gove and Ken Clarke have all been moved or sacked as foreign secretary as part of a wide-ranging government reshuffle.

Several other cabinet ministers have lost their jobs or quit, including veteran minister badger-culling environment secretary Owen Paterson, and attorney general Dominic Grieve.

1. These are the ministers who have either quit, been sacked or moved elsewhere.

This is how the cabinet looked on Monday morning – and this is what happened to them. The Lib Dems will have their own reshuffle later in the year, meaning all their ministers were safe this time around.

6. After Monday’s nights sackings there were 14 ministers who have lost their jobs. All were white, middle-aged males.

This is all part of David Cameron’s push to clear the decks and bring new faces and women into the cabinet ahead the general election.
